从网络摄像头获取最新的帧

Question

我正在使用OpenCV2用网络摄像头拍摄一些时间拍照.我想提取网络摄像头看到的最新视图.我试着这样做.

import cv2
a = cv2.VideoCapture(1)
ret, frame = a.read()
#The following garbage just shows the image and waits for a key press
#Put something in front of the webcam and then press a key
cv2.imshow('a',frame); cv2.waitKey(0); cv2.destroyAllWindows(); [cv2.waitKey(25) for i in range(10)]
#Since something was placed in front of the webcam we naively expect
#to see it when we read in the next image. We would be wrong.
ret, frame = a.read()
cv2.imshow('a',frame); cv2.waitKey(0); cv2.destroyAllWindows(); [cv2.waitKey(25) for i in range(10)]

除了放置在网络摄像头前的图像不显示.这几乎就像有某种缓冲......

所以我清除缓冲区,如下:

import cv2
a = cv2.VideoCapture(1)
ret, frame = a.read()
#Place something in front of the webcam and then press a key
cv2.imshow('a',frame); cv2.waitKey(0); cv2.destroyAllWindows(); [cv2.waitKey(25) for i in range(10)]

#Purge the buffer
for i in range(10): #Annoyingly arbitrary constant
  a.grab()

#Get the next frame. Joy!
ret, frame = a.read()
cv2.imshow('a',frame); cv2.waitKey(0); cv2.destroyAllWindows(); [cv2.waitKey(25) for i in range(10)]

现在这个工作,但它是令人讨厌的不科学和缓慢.有没有办法专门询问缓冲区中最近的图像？或者,禁止这样,清除缓冲区的更好方法是什么？

Answer 1

我从Capture single picture with opencv 中找到了一些有帮助的代码。我对其进行了修改，使其连续显示最新捕获的图像。它似乎没有缓冲区问题，但我可能误解了你的问题。

import numpy as np
import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) # video capture source camera (Here webcam of laptop) 
ret,frame = cap.read() # return a single frame in variable `frame`


while(True):
    ret,frame = cap.read() # return a single frame in variable `frame
    cv2.imshow('img1',frame) #display the captured image
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('y'): #save on pressing 'y' 
        cv2.imwrite('images/c1.png',frame)
        cv2.destroyAllWindows()
        break

cap.release()
